Meg Whitman landed in San Jose on Saturday to target a certain kind of voter–Asian Americans.
The former eBay chief began her day at a Vietnamese restaurant with plans to visit Koreatown in LA and ending up in the heavily Asian American San Gabriel Valley.
Whitman has been slipping in the polls to opponent Jerry Brown and according to a Public Policy Institute of California poll, currently falls 8 points behind.
When asked about the decline, Whitman said, “The polls are all over the place. I’m going to fight for every vote in every part of the state.”
Whitman asked for advice from supporters on how to reach the Vietnamese community and told potential voters that Asian American support was crucial.
“You are a very important group that could actually swing the outcome of this election,” said Whitman.
Whitman has spent $142 million of her fortune on her campaign.
